ORGANIC: Watermelon, Cantaloupe and Peaches, Oh MY!

8/6/2013

We’ve got the first bin of organic black-skinned watermelon of the season from I-NAB-A Farm in the Yakima Valley.  Iris, the 4-year old melon connoisseur, spotted the organic cantaloupes in the van as she was welcoming Michael home from his fruit trip and insisted on trying one out for dessert last night.  Sweet and delicious was the consensus.

Amy Wu from Rest-A-While called to let us know that she’s started picking Red Haven Peaches, and the Delp Peaches (great for canning – get your order in early if you want a box or two) are just around the corner.  Michael and I will be headed over this Wednesday to get some Red Havens, Saturn Donut Peaches and the first plums of the season; Shiro and Santa Rosa.  It looks like the weather is going to be HOT on the other side of the Cascades, which could push some of the fruit faster than expected; unless it’s so hot is slows it down, which can also happen.

We are so grateful for all the farmers who keep on farming and providing us with these sweet treats of Summer.  Ya’ll come out to the Fruit Stand and get in on the fruits of their labor!

Cheers,
Jeannine
